Another BF site has the Costco ad out. Be leary of their 65" HDTV. UN75JU650DFXZA for $1200 off. I think it comes to $2800.

It's the same as the Samsung UN75JU6500. No 3D support on this TV incase you like 3D. Might want to spring for the 7100 if you can though, the one connect mini will allow you to upgrade your ports in the future incase you ever need to.

And most importantly. the ju6500 is 60hz and lacks local dimming.

That's not their Black Friday ad. It's a pre-Thanksgiving sale and the ad has been on their own website for a bit now, so it's not a "leak" or anything. Also, the one they're offering is 120hz and not 60hz, and it does have dimming. http://www.costco.com/pre-holiday-wareh ... ffers.html

"The native panel refresh rate is only 60Hz for the JU6500 so you will see some judder on those movie scenes with side to side panning. The backlight manipulated Motion Rate is 120. This is another compromise for a lower price. If fast action sports programming is important to you, consider a higher refresh rate panel of 240Hz. You will likely notice the motion lag in fast moving scenes from movies and sports on the JU6500, especially in the larger size screens of 60” and up."

Thus you probably will see a lot more blur watching football and fast motion movies on this 75" tv.

-- there is a 120hz model... you should check the box at Costco before you walk out, and check the panel refresh rate. Don't look for Motion Rate 120, or 120Hz Effective Refresh Rate .. look for 120hz

Thanks for explaining. I, too, was very confused about what point you were trying to make, for example whether you thought the $300 difference was bigger than expected or if you thought it was smaller than expected, etc.
